Best Spaces for Serene

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Ceilings, trims and small rooms: an off-white keeps everything bright, clean and airy.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

Building a Palette With Serene

For a whole-home look, use Serene as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Natural wood - to add warmth.
• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.
• Almost any accent colour - since white sets off everything.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Serene keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as off-white shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
